Welcome to the final installment of our series exploring the power of index ETFs. Over four episodes we've been discussing why indexes:

• Ensure you don't miss out on growth
• Offer income without the hassle
• Cut your losers, double-down on your winners
• Are designed to last forever (this episode)

In this episode we're taking a closer look at why indexes may be the only truly timeless investment product.

We all love the idea of being a long term investor, but not every investment is designed to be long-term. The history of the stock market is a history of companies rising and falling, of one generation's giants being disrupted by a new wave of companies.

When it comes to index ETFs, it is a completely different proposition. They are designed to be timeless and capture the growth in the stock market, wherever it comes from next. Tune in to today's episode to find out how.

Welcome to the Equity Mates Summer Series, over 12 episodes we’re deep diving into some of the most exciting, interesting and well-known companies from around the world. AutoZone, Inc., the leading American retailer in aftermarket automotive parts and accessories, stands as the largest of its kind in the United States. Specialising in auto parts retail with its own private label brands, AutoZone boasts a robust network of 7,140 stores spanning the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and the US Virgin Islands. Unique to its operational model, all AutoZone stores are corporately owned, as the company operates without franchises. We're joined by Anthony Doyle, the Head of Investment Strategy for the Firetrail S3 Global Opportunities Fund, to go through the numbers. He goes through his thoughts on where the company trying to build a sustainable competitive advantage, what he'd be most concerned about if you were to invest, and if the company is successful in its ambitions, what that'll look like in 10 years.

The Equity Mates Summer Series is proud to partner with CommSec, the home of investing. Often we get frustrated with the lack of access to international markets, particularly when there are so many great opportunities outside of Australia. However, with CommSec those opportunities are a reality, with access to 13 international markets, from the US, to Norway, Germany and Japan.

Dropsuite Limited, founded in 2011 as Dropmysite, is a Singapore-based software platform specialising in cloud backup, archiving, and recovery services, catering primarily to business continuity and compliance needs of large companies, not personal devices. The company's journey began when founder John Fearon, seeking a backup solution for his business website, raised $300,000 on a Singaporean TV show, leading to the development of services like Dropmymail for email backup and Dropmymobile for smartphone backup. In 2016, the company rebranded to Dropsuite and made its debut on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) through a backdoor listing in December of the same year. Our Equity Mates Expert of the Year, and Ren's mentor, Andrew Page, joins us to chat through the thesis for and against the company.

Meet Chris Bates - the mortgage broker who helped both of us (Bryce and Ren) get into our first homes.

We have been getting so many questions about buying a first home, recycling equity and moving into property investment that we've asked Chris to join us on the show to help answer these questions.

In today's episode we cover:

• Our own property stories (and how Bryce almost made a huge mistake)
• Trends in the property market and where to next
• How inflation is impacting property prices
• Some of the common mistakes first home buyers make
• Why Chris thinks debt-recycling is overhyped (but also how we can do it)
• Chris' thoughts on rentvesting
• Whether buying land to subdivide it is a good strategy
• If a buyer's agent is worth it

Wherever you are with property, we think this episode will give you plenty to go away and think about applying to your own finances.
